First Lady Arya Ali yesterday kept  a commitment made to a local animal welfare group and presented it with a mobile animal clinic and rescue unit.

Earlier this year, representatives from Tails of Hope met with the First Lady and made known its needs.

According to a release from the First Lady’s office, the group said that the mobile unit would allow Tails of Hope to expand its reach to offer assistance to communities where there are no qualified veterinarians. Additionally, they said that it would allow them to offer low cost services such as vaccinations, deworming, treatment of ticks and bugs, and spaying and neutering across the country.
